We all want our children to be academically successful but also realize that they possess talents and needs that go beyond the academic. Most educators talk about meeting the needs of the whole child but somehow, miss the boat, in the implementation of various programs. Some schools are so concerned about the child’s social and emotional development that the academics suffer while others are so academically oriented that everything else is eclipsed. Montessori strikes a perfect balance between the two ends of the spectrum because we realize that unless the social and emotional needs are met little academic progress is possible.

By about age six children enter into what Maria Montessori called the second plane of development. The child becomes less dependent on imitation and much more concerned with the how and why questions. Social interactions with peers become more important, discovery of, and pride in, one’s personal heritage and family customs becomes fascinating, and knowledge is no longer accepted at face value. These children are hungry for intellectual challenges, open-ended questions, and lots of facts.
